About Downstairs
100 Standing / Reception
60 Seated
The green walls and warm pendant lights welcome you into Downstairs at The Albany, our underground event space that brings a different energy to Great Portland Street. We've created something special beneath the traditional pub upstairs - a room that feels both intimate and alive, with its own private entrance keeping your celebration separate from the main venue. Our fully equipped bar runs along one wall, its green-tiled front catching the light while our bartenders serve drinks throughout your event. The wooden tables and comfortable chairs we've arranged can accommodate 60 seated guests, though we often reconfigure the space for standing receptions of up to 100. Those plush alcoves with their soft lamp lighting give your guests quieter spots to chat away from the main action. The built-in stage and sound system transform this basement into whatever you need it to be. We've hosted product launches where presenters command the room, birthday parties with live bands getting everyone dancing, and corporate gatherings that flow from presentations to networking. The stage works just as well for speeches as it does for DJs, and our sound equipment ensures everyone hears every word or beat. What works particularly well down here is how the space adapts. The eclectic mix of modern touches and retro elements creates an atmosphere that suits both professional events and personal celebrations. Corporate groups appreciate the privacy and dedicated facilities, while party organisers love how the underground setting adds excitement to their events. One recent client told us the venue provided exactly what they wanted, with their meeting going perfectly to plan. That's what we aim for - giving you a distinctive London space that works precisely for your needs, whether you're launching a product, celebrating a milestone, or bringing people together for an unforgettable night.
